I am assisting my step-mother sell her flat in Shirley. Will the solicitor arrange an energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates remained a required element of moving house. An energy assessment needs to be to hand before the property is marketed. It is not a task that conveyancers normally organise. If you are using a Shirley conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with reputable Shirley energy assessors
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Shirley is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Shirley accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Shirley. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Shirley conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Shirley 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know precisely where to locate all the suitable documentation so you may buy or sell your property without any difficulty. Where duplicates can’t be located, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on the premises.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Shirley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Shirley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
